without getting dragged into who are next managers should be but think next season could either be massive or terrible for lfc. Regardless if we get fourth or not, have a lot of players who are or should be moving on who I think it is best are, not just your johnsons or borini's but love the man but stevie going gives who ever manages is just to build on a great young squad.
Have a young squad with amazing potential (studge, hendo, sterling, couts, can, I've etc) that needs 2-3 signings that if gotten right can turn us into a great team. But FSG need to have a well though out plan and execute it early or we could be left behind for years!
Arsenal have a great squad that is still young and after paying off their stadium money to bolster it. Man U Tbf need a lot of signings (cm, 2 CBs, a right back, winger, etc) but I'd they secure CL have money to get the best in the world! City look set for a few seasons and Spurs. well are spurs! If we plan our summer and get all the players out who don't have a future should raise a good amount of funds and clear up the wage bill which could set us up for a great few years - but have to get everything right off the pitch or don't know where we'll be.
Have a good young squad, a lot of promise from the academy and think if we get our signings right and staff to make the most of it can be in for great things. But if we mess up our transfers and have a manager who won't accept help and keeps making the same mistakes will be another 20 years till we get a title! Not saying BR has to go but our set up can't be the same and expect different results with a great foundation

Sorry mate how do city in any way, shape or form look set for a few years? They are a very oldish squad and there key players are either old or injury prone.
I'd say if u think us getting CL football puts us in better shape than u and arsenal's pay off of debt puts them in strong position. I would think city are the team u can catch.

We have never got our signings right, huge amount of money spent and still struggling to get into top 4. So please tell me what will be different this transfer window ???
23 Mar 2015 21:23:32
Tbh mate meant to write chelsea but drinks make you mess things up, but even so please tell me if you genuinely think city aren't going to finish in the 4 in the next few years? Have massively under performed for two seasons but won a league title and look likely for 2nd.
Obviously CL football helps but are in a good position that bar sterling should retain best our players and should only need a few signings to make us compete and don't think that's unrealstic. Obviously United and arsenal are in a stronger position due to finances but our best players are mostly under 23 (studge is what 25?) and have depth just need quality. Have gone on fantastic runs last two seasons with a very young side, just need to be consistent from the start!
We have a track record in the transfer window has been poor but looks like FSG are trying to address this, isn't easy but isn't impossible either. Not saying it's likely as we seem to do terribly in transfer windows, but to say we can't get 2 or 3 signing a right is ridiculous. Chelsea got 3 players in (obviously easier for them) and now are head and shoulders above the rest!
Not saying it is likely but is more than possible, but club have to make sure they get eveything right before hand (structure, coaching staff, transfer targets, managing youth etc)'and are no where near as far off as everyone thinks

So utd beat us once and they're gone we won't ever catch them again CTR you really r a typical utd fan Billy big boots.
24 Mar 2015 02:00:58
CTR, all you did was win 3 points and NOTHING more. You have achieved NOTHING yet and who says you will get top four w/ 24 points left to play for? I sggest you keep calm, enjoy the deserved victory and keep it at thatt because you ahve been aweful all season bar the past two games so no need to gloat. As for us, the PL is pretty poor right now and though City nd Chelsea seem ahead of us, I think if we get or house in order globally, we can give the league a real go.

OP
who will buy our flops?
24 Mar 2015 07:04:20
F+F, we've moved on worse bunches of players, we'll take a hit but they will be moved on.
24 Mar 2015 07:37:58
We got offered £14m for borini, can move them on. Will take a hit on most of them but luckily/stupidly we have a lot of players to move on so even if we take a hit will have funds. Big bonus is big salaries off the wage bill.
Biggest concern is getting the spending righ

Tommy Irish Red - "So utd beat us once"
We've played them 3 times this season (including a friendly) and been comprehensively outplayed in all of them. Check the results. Apart from which, it's the significance of the game at this time of the season. Basically, when United buried that second goal, they buried any realistic hopes we had of fourth. It was less than a fortnight ago Rodgers was claiming second spot was realistic.
24 Mar 2015 09:56:12
Ok red Lenin let's just throw the towel in and give up then, for me how the team played with ten men gives me a bit of hope and imo if Gerrard hadn't have been sent off I think we would have got at least a draw but you just look for the negatives as usual.
24 Mar 2015 11:10:21
What positives were there to take from Sunday? Please enlighten me? Aside from Rooneys comedy attempt at stopping a team mate from having a hat trick for his own personal glory, I am at a complete loss.
The reality is that once again Brendan couldn't get a team to play when it mattered, once again, we have to rely on a lightweight to play in a mans position(Joe Allen), once again Brendan doesn't realise that the opposition have a plan that is better than his.
As Lenin rightly says, three times we've played them and three times we've been outclassed.
24 Mar 2015 12:02:01
I didn't say u wouldn't catch us lads it was the OP that suggested that.
24 Mar 2015 22:20:30
Sahko was a positive.
24 Mar 2015 22:20:45
The half time music was great as well.
